Keyrock Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 The prologue is dark, I mean really really dark. I don't just mean the tone of the story, I mean visually it's really dark. So much so that I was tempted to crank the brightness setting on my TV (I didn't). The oppressive darkness and Laura's feeble phone flashlight work really well with the atmosphere. Holy **** it's Ted Raimi! This game has the best facial animations I have ever seen in a vidya game, and it's not even close. It's comparable to LA Noire in how much better the facial animations were compared to everything that had come before it, The Quarry is a similar leap forward 11 years later 4 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Keyrock Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 This is definitely the best looking game I've played on xXxBOxXx, or anything for that matter. It's not just the graphical fidelity, though it's certainly not lacking in that area, it's the lighting effects, depth of field, little particles of dust in the air in a light shaft, it's all really well done. Given that this is a very cinematic experience, it's an interactive movie essentially, it's a lot easier for Supermassive Games to push the limits than the mountain of open world games. Everything here is very controlled and scripted, the devs know exactly how many characters are going to be on screen at any given moment. Scripted and linear has its benefits. 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Keyrock Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Assetto Corsa Competizione This is the most famous section of Laguna Seca Raceway with the blind turns and hardcore elevation drop. I'm just practicing for now to get the feel of my wheel and the car (2019 911 GT3) down. My best ever lap so far is 1.28.68 while the record is 1.24.02. Once I can consistently run 1.27 and 1.28 laps I'll do an actual race. Edit: I posted a 1.27.75. If I can post laps like that consistently then it's race time.

LadyCrimson Posted June 18, 2022 Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) I tried to get farther in that Guardians of Galaxy game (since I barely got off the intro-ship section), but there are too many sorta-like-QTE's - including in the middle of chattery dialogues - and "forced movement/path" moments. Plus the chrs. are constantly talking as you move along, that drives me crazy. Dunno if it lessens later but ... still, Rocket will never not be cool. Also - haven't played it in a while but whenever I run into those blue toothy creatures in Biomutant I feel like Blue Meanies had babies or something.

Agiel Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 "Texaco 1-1, this is Enfield 1-1. Switch is safe (Master Arm switch set to 'safe'), nose is cold (radar set to 'Silent'), looking for 8K (pounds of gas)" "Enfield 1-1, Texaco 1-1, proceed to pre-contact at angels 20 at two two zero." Line abreast with my wing-man. Wing sweep set to "Bomb" mode, which fixes both the flaps and the wing sweep to 65 degrees Refueling probe extended "Ready pre-contact." "Cleared contact." the KC-130 announces as it extends the refueling drogue. The Tomcat briefly shudders in the burble of the Hurc, but quickly recovers... The golden rules for aerial refueling - 1. Pick a fixed reference point on the refueling aircraft and keep the basket in your peripheral vision as you approach, but never "chase it". 2. Use minute movements on stick, rudder, and throttle as you approach and make corrections. 3. Approach slowly, but above all else keep it smooth, lest you fall into a feedback loop of oscillating corrections that will force you to back off and attempt another approach. 4. If you have to back off and take a breather, wiggle your toes! "Little left." The RIO (Radio Intercept Officer) advises as he leans right in his seat, walking me into the basket as I fixate on the refueling pod the hose is being unreeled from. "Keep her steady." "Contact." the KC-130 announces. "We're plugged. That'll put out our thirst." the RIO exhales triumphantly. "You're taking fuel." "Fuel thirteen thousand... Fuel fourteen five-hundred..." The RIO reads the fuel gage over the next several minutes for what seems like an eternity as I struggle to keep the aircraft steady. "Transfer complete." the Hurc declares. "Disconnect." I back out of the basket and while the Hurc retracts the drogue, ready to unspool the hose again once my wingman is in position. Taking position besides the Harriers we were escorting while my wingman tanks up. 3 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling

For aerial refueling as mentioned in my post use a fixed point of reference on the refueling plane while keeping the basket in your peripheral vision and above all keep it _smooth_. Before my first ever one-plug refueling session many KC-135s, KC-130s, and S-3s were shot down in frustration. 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle.

sorophx Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Still playing Elden Ring, after 200 hours I'm roughly half way through the game, enjoying most of it, though some bosses are becoming really annoying (tree spirits be damned!) the views, they are what keeps me going To keep myself from going insane I swap Elden Ring for Genshin Impact from time to time, and while the game is just a poorer Zelda clone, it can be cinematic and slight spoilers! 2 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

LadyCrimson Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Also - you can still cast spell/s (like a big, huge AoE, or anything else) while in "fight for your life", which makes getting a 2nd-wind a lot easier/faster.
